길항미생물 MP-1은 여러 종의 곰팡이와 효모 및 음식물을 부패시키는 세균 (그람양성 및 음성) 에 대하여 항균활성을 보였다. MP-1의 16S rRNA gene 염기서열은 기존에 밝혀진 Brukholderia sp.의 염기서열과 99-100% 유사하였다. 배양액으로부터의 항균물질은 에틸아세테이트 (EtOAc)를 사용하여 분리하였으며 EtOAc에 용해된 산성 분획은 silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS 컬럼크로마토 그래피 및 HPLC를 사용하여서 정제를 실시 하였다. 최종적으로 Gas chromatographic-mass 스펙트럼을 통한 분석을 통하여 4 종의 항균 활성을 나타내는 물질은 phenylacetic acid, hydrocinnamic acid, 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid 및 4-hydroxyphenylacetate methyl ester로 확인 되었다. 각각의 항균 활성물질들의 미생물에 대한 최소저해농도(MIC)는 $250{\sim}2500ug\;ml^{-1}$ 인 것으로 나타났다. 또한 6 mm paper disc 에서의 1mg (건물중) 산성 분획의 항균활성은 같은 비율로 혼합한 표준혼합용액 보다 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

BAAG의 첨가배지상에서 미생물세포의 생육이 크게 억제된다는 실험결과를 토대로, 미생물에 대한 항균작용의 방식을 알아 보고자, Botrytis cinerea를 배양하여 분리한 여러 가지 효소 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 특히 에너지 대사와 관련된 효소들에 대한 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 여러가지 대사경로에서 주요한 역할을 하는 효소인, hexokinase,glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase와succinate dehydrogenase에 대한 영향을 살펴 본 결과, BAAG가 외ucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase 및 malate dehydrogenase의활성에는 별다른 효과를 나타내지 않았으나 succinate dehydrogenase 및 hexokinase 효소활성에서는 약간의 효소활성 억제작용을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 세포막에 미치는 영향을 알아 보기 위하여 $\beta$-galactosidase의 인위적 기질인 ONPG의 분해 여부를 조사한 결과, BAAG는 세포막의 기능에 영향을 끼침을 관찰하였다. BAAG의 항균 성분을 분리확인 하기 위해서 silica gel column chromatography를 하여 ethyl ether분획물에서 3개, ethyl acetate분회물에서 4개의peak를 얻었으며, 각 용매분획물에서 1개씩의 분획에서 강한항균 활성을 검출하였다. 이 분획을 NMR 및 fast atomicbombardment측정기에 의해서 분석한 결과, 화학구조를limonin과 naringin으로 동정할 수 있었다. 이상의 연구결과로 미루어, 본 연구에서 그 기능과 작용을 구명한 천연항균소재 BAAG는 수확한 과채류의 직접 처리제재 및 항균 포장 소재로 과채류의 선도유지를 목적으로 활용하여 그 효과를 기대할 수 있어, 과채류의 생산기반 보호와 농가소득에큰 도움이 될 것으로 생각된다.

신규 항세균물질을 탐색하는 사전조사에서 몇몇 분리균주들이 그람양성 세균과 그람음성 세균 모두에 항균활성을 보이며, 심지어 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에도 항균활성을 나타내었다. 이들 균주 중에서 한 균주가 표현형과 계통분석을 이용하여 특히 16S 리보좀 RNA 유전자 염기서열에 기초하여 Pseudomonas aeruginosa로 동정되었다. BCNU 1204 균주의 항균물질은 King's medium B (pH 7.0)에서 $35^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건으로 4일 배양 후 가장 최대로 생산되었다. 항균물질을 각종 유기용매로 분획한 결과, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204의 dichloromethane (DCM)분획과 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 그람 양성 세균에 강력한 항균활성을 보였으며, 특히 ethylacetate (EA) 분획이 methicillin내성 Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)에 대하여 강한 항균활성을 나타내었다. Recycling preparative LC와 preparative TLC 로 활성물질 하나(분획 5-2)를 분리하여 GC-MS 분석한 결과 phenazine 화합물에 속하는 phenazine-1-carboxylic acid 로 동정하였다. 그리고 MRSA 균주에 대한 최소저해농도(minimum inhibitory concentration, MIC)가 MRSA균주인 CCARM 3089, 3090, 3091 그리고 3095 균주에 대하여 각각 $25{\mu}g/ml$, $50{\mu}g/ml$, ${\geq}25{\mu}g/ml$ 그리고 ${\geq}50{\mu}g/ml$ 임을 확인하였다. 그러므로 P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 분리균주는 항 MRSA 항생물질을 개발하기 위한 잠재 가치가 높은 생물자원으로 기대되며, P. aeruginosa BCNU 1204 균주로부터 리더 화합물을 획득하기 위한 보다 많은 연구가 요구된다.

There has been increasing concern in recent years about the occurrence, fate and toxicity of pharmaceutical products in aquatic environment. Although these compounds have been detected in a wide variety of environmental samples including sewage effluent, surface waters, ground water and drinking water, their concentrations generally range from the low ppt to ppb levels. It is therefore often thought to be unlikely that pharmaceuticals will have a detrimental effect on the environment. This study was conducted to determine the endocrine disruption effects of the several pharmaceutical residues in water using adult Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes). The common antibiotics were used sulfa durgs (sulfamethoxazole and sulfamethazine) and tetracycline drugs (oxytetracycline and tetracycline). Positive control that was induced Vtg (vitellogenin) in male fish was used $17\beta$-estradiol. Vtg was qualified and quantified through Western blotting and ELISA. After SDS gel electrophoresis, the dominant protein band was identified to molecular weight approximately 205 kDa in whole body samples of vitellogenic female. In female medaka exposed to $17\beta$estradiol, there was no significant difference in total protein induction. In contrast, three to five day exposure of male fish to $17\beta$-estradiol resulted in more than 60.0% increase of total protein compared to that of control males (p<0.01). In case of antibiotics, female fish didn't show significant difference, but male fish was showed significant difference. In addition, Vtg induction in male fish was observed with all the test chemicals. On concentrations greater than 0.1 ppm of sulfamethoxazole, 1 ppm of sulfamethazine, 1 ppm of oxytetracycline and 20 ppm of tetracycline, Vtg induction was increased in a dose response manner. This study is one of the early reports suggesting potential endocrine disruption mechanism of antibiotic pharmaceutical products in aquatic ecosystem. Although the effect concentrations obtained from this study were high as unrealistically as in environments, it is endocrine disruption that we should be considered as one of the important consequences of pharmaceutical contamination at water environment, and warrants due attention in future researches.

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of indigenous herbal supplements on growth, blood metabolites and carcass characteristics in the late fattening period of Hanwoo steers. In a 6 month feeding trial, thirty Hanwoo steers ($647{\pm}32$ kg) were allotted to one of 5 treatment groups, control (basal diet contained lasalocid), licorice, clove, turmeric and silymarin, with six steers per pen. All groups received ad libitum concentrate and 1 kg rice straw/animal/d throughout the feeding trial. Blood samples were collected at the beginning, middle, and the end of the experiment and the steers were slaughtered at the end. Blood glucose, triglyceride, total protein, and albumin concentrations were higher in the turmeric treatment compared with other treatments. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentrations were highest (p<0.003 and p = 0.071, respectively) in steers treated with silymarin. Alanine aminotransferase activity was lower (p<0.06) for licorice and silymarin compared with the control group. There were no alterations in serum aspartate aminotransferase and gamma glutamyltransferase activities as a consequence of herb treatments (p = 0.203 and 0.135, respectively). Final body weight, body weight gain, average dairy gain and dry matter intake were not significantly different among treatments. Yield grade, marbling score and quality grade were higher for silymarin group than those of the control group (p<0.05). Therefore, the results suggest that silymarin can be used an effective dietary supplement as an alternative to antibiotic feed additive and a productivity enhancer, providing safe and more consumer acceptable alternative to synthetic compounds during the late fattening period of steers.

Objectives: Semecarpus anacardium Linn. is a plant well-known for its antimicrobial, antidiabetic and anti-arthritic properties in the Ayurvedic and Siddha system of medicine. This has prompted the screening of this plant for antibacterial activity. The main aims of this study were to isolate compounds from the plant's seeds and to evaluate their antibacterial effects on clinical bacterial test strains. Methods: The n-butanolic concentrate of the seed extract was subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and repeated silica gel column chromatography followed by elution with various solvents. The compound was identified based on observed spectral (IR, $^1H$ NMR, $^{13}C$ NMR and high-resolution mass spectrometry) data. The well diffusion method was employed to evaluate the antibacterial activities of the isolated acyclic isoprenoid compound (final concentration: $5-15{\mu}g/mL$) on four test bacterial strains, namely, Staphylococcus aureus (MTCC 96), Bacillus cereus (MTCC 430), Escherichia coli (MTCC 1689) and Acinetobacter baumannii (MTCC 9829). Results: Extensive spectroscopic studies showed the structure of the isolated compound to be an acyclic isoprenoid ($C_{21}H_{32}O$). Moreover, the isoprenoid showed a remarkable inhibition of bacterial growth at a concentration of $15{\mu}g/mL$ compared to the two other doses tested (5 and $10{\mu}g/mL$) and to tetracycline, a commercially available antibiotic that was used as a reference drug. Conclusion: The isolation of an antimicrobial compound from Semecarpus anacardium seeds validates the use of this plant in the treatment of infections. The isolated compound found to be active in this study could be useful for the development of new antimicrobial drugs.

Papenfussiella kuromo (PK) is a marine plant and an abundant ecological resource for the future; it is found in almost 80% of the terrestrial biosphere. The aim of this study was to investigate the antibacterial activity of PK against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant pathogen. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of PK hexane fraction (PKH) against 7 strains of MRSA ranged from 1.0 to 2.0 mg/mL. In the checkerboard dilution method, a synergistic effect of the PKH and the antibiotics (oxacillin and norfloxacin) was seen. PKH markedly reduced the MIC of each of the 4 antibiotics against MRSA. The time-kill assay showed that the synergistic activity of PKH and an antibiotic reduced the bacterial counts below the lowest detectable limit after 24 h. These findings suggest that PKH has antibacterial activity, and may be important baseline data in future extensive studies of living marine resources as a source of compounds active against MRSA.

In vitro and greenhouse screening of seven rhizobacterial isolates, AB05, AB10, AB11, AB12, AB14, AB15 and AB17, was conducted to investigate the plant growth promoting activities and inhibition against anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum acutatum in pepper. According to identification based on 16S rDNA sequencing, the majority of the isolates are members of Bacillus and a single isolate belongs to the genus Paenibacillus. All seven bacterial isolates were capable of inhibiting C. acutatum to various degrees. The results primarily showed that antibiotic substances produced by the selected bacteria were effective and resulted in strong antifungal activity against the fungi. However, isolate AB15 was the most effective bacterial strain, with the potential to suppress more than 50% mycelial growth of C. acutatum in vitro. Moreover, antibiotics from Paenibacillus polymyxa (AB15) and volatile compounds from Bacillus subtilis (AB14) exerted efficient antagonistic activity against the pathogens in a dual culture assay. In vivo suppression activity of selected bacteria was also analyzed in a greenhouse with the reference to their prominent in vitro antagonism efficacy. Induced systemic resistance in pepper against C. acutatum was also observed under greenhouse conditions. Where, isolate AB15 was found to be the most effective bacterial strain at suppressing pepper anthracnose under greenhouse conditions. Moreover, four isolates, AB10, AB12, AB15, and AB17, were identified as the most effective growth promoting bacteria under greenhouse conditions, with AB17 inducing the greatest enhancement of pepper growth.
